A gaming mouse that cools sweaty gamers
Pulsar has confirmed the launch date for the Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition. July 21 at 4 PM Korean time.
The mouse weighs 73 grams and comes, unbelievably, with a real Noctua NF-A4x10 fan mounted inside the shell. It blows air straight up into your palm while you play.
Yes, you read that right. A fan. In the mouse. Cooling your hand. I’m a fan of fans!

Shown at Computex, now with a date and specs
Noctua showed the mouse off at its booth during Computex in May, one of several surprises from the cooling masters in Vienna. Back then we got neither a date nor full specs. Now Pulsar has dropped both on X.
The concept is as simple as it is wonderfully silly. The carbon composite shell is full of big ventilation cutouts, and the little 40 mm fan pushes air up toward your hand continuously. Five fan speeds, and you pick them yourself.
Keep calm and stay cool.

Cool hands win.

Modern top specs under the hood
The rest of the mouse is no gimmick either. Besides the weight, this is a real contender for a great mouse.
The Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition gets Pulsar’s newest XS-2 sensor with up to 42,000 DPI, an 8000 Hz polling rate, optical switches rated for 80 million clicks, wireless connectivity and USB-C charging. In the box you also get a charging dock in dark brown.
Charging docks, I love those. We know nothing about battery life here, but we can assume the little fan needs some power to run, and then it is really handy to have easy charging between sessions.

The 73-gram weight is admittedly 27 grams more than the original Feinmann F01, but for a mouse with a fan in its belly that is still impressively light.
The price isn’t confirmed yet. The original costs $179, and a figure around €200 was mentioned when the Noctua edition was shown off in May. Here in Norway I’d assume this one lands well into the premium bracket, around 2300-2400 NOK is my guess. But I still imagine this will be a limited run that sells out fast.

I love news like this. With heatwaves across large parts of Europe the timing is also ideal: what’s better for the sweaty gamer, or the office warrior whose hand runs hot, than a fan that cools you down while you click?
And Noctua deserves credit for staying on point with their own branding too. The mouse comes, of course, in that well-known and lovely cream and chocolate colourway, complete with a brown charging dock. Noctua does have accessories in its Batman-like chromax black, but nope! This mouse launches in the lovely retro brown colours.

I’d love to test one myself. Pulsar, you know where to find me.
Noctua has been in a giving mood all year, by the way. Earlier this spring they released CAD models of all their fans, and at that same Computex they launched filament in the Noctua colours.
What about Norway?
I haven’t had this confirmed, but Maxgaming has stocked Pulsar’s mice before. For now we can only hope this one makes its way all the way up north.
The Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition launches in Pulsar’s web store on July 21.
